now, here's dana bash on cnn. >> i want to read you a quote. again, this is a quote from a house republican leadership aide about a fellow republican senator, ted cruz, saying, quote, wendy davis has more balls than ted cruz. >> tada! i am sorry about playing somebody on cnn saying "balls" on television. that is what the warning was about. but this really happened. the full quote, to be fair, it's from a senior republican leadership aide. the full quote is, "it is disappointing to see that wendy davis has more balls than ted cruz." so really, it is a sad story, it's a disappointing story. but that is the story. and that is the way that republicans in washington are talking about each other right now. congratulations, wendy davis. what is happening here, big picture, is that the democratic party and the democratic president made a huge political effort, a huge and costly and time-consuming political effort in the president's first term to pass health reform. and it was difficult. and it ended up costing them a lot of seats in congress in the mid

dana priest writes, the two presidents have asked jsoc to mount intelligence-gathering missions and lethal raids mostly in iraq and afghanistan, but also in countries with which the united states was not at war, including yemen, pakistan, the it has its own intelligence division, drones, reconnaissance planes, even dedicated satellites, in combat, they wear no name or rank i'd fires. >> when president obama first came into office, he campaigned on a pledge to end the war in iraq and to try to roll back the way that bush and cheney had prosecuted the war on terror. early in his administration he was briefed on the capacity that jsoc had. what ended up happening is that jsoc became the counterterrorism policy, not just the implementers of it, but policy itself. these are guys used to operating in shadows with little or minimal effective congressional oversight and they have a streamlined pipe to the commander-in-chief. president obama is in charge of all u.s. military forces. but often in his administration speaking directly to the commenders of jsoc on the ground. when an american flagged v

. >> dana rower backer as you know, a republican congressman from california, says rubio is using, and i'm quoting him, weasel words on immigration. what are the odds that as the knives come out rubio shifts? rubio basically disowns the bill? he's moved from 100% to 95. >> let me propose a different analogy. he may end up being the john roberts of his party. when the chief justice came out and said i'm conservative but there's no way around it, obama care is constitutional, his own people attacked him so much that you know, it seemed to make him pull back and say who am i in bed with. i think there's a real peril here for the hard-core conservative right not credible on this issue to go after someone who yes, by the way, i'm not afraid to say it, is one of the few latino minorities in the party, willing to work with these guys, willing to do outreach and i give him credit for that in the past and they attack him like this, are even when he's trying to get some of their border security kurt stuff in. i think they risk alienating him not unlike many of the voter who's associate with him

congressman dana rohrabacher alleged the government was able to monitor the benghazi attack in realtime based on a made-up hunch from right-wing blogger jennifer rubin. so time and time again, we are seeing elected officials peddle rumors and hearsay to further their agenda. they're blocking nominations. they're ruining people's reputations, they're holding hearings, and they are smearing people any possible way they can. no $10,000 price can repair the damage the republican party has inflicted upon itself. let's bring in john nichols, washington correspondent of "the nation" magazine. john, good to have you with us tonight. there are no boundaries when it comes to making stuff up with the republicans. where is the republican party right now? they are baseless in their facts and their attacks. they claim that there are massive cover-ups of benghazi. the list goes on and on. does anybody believe this is good for our political process? >> well, it can't possibly be good for the political process, ed. you know, the interesting thing is that the great contribution of the republican party to
